This is helpful. Thank you.

I'm curious if there is a website (forum) similar to cpaptalk for people who have pacemakers.

On the Sleepyhead readout, I'm curious to know what generally is considered to be an acceptable percentage level spent in 95% large leak territory. Thanks for any information provided.

I’d be interested in knowing of possible solutions for a person who can benefit from using a mouth guard at night, on the recommendation of their dentist, for grinding and clenching, while also benefiting from the use of a CPAP machine. The priority piece of medical equipment is the CPAP, although I...

Any suggestions on where to recycle or dispose of older CPAP machines? I've accumulated a few machines over the years. Thank you. -Chuck-

Thank you for the very helpful replies.

What resource is available to determine what high quality batteries specific to CPAP machines are available in the marketplace?

Thank you for the replies. I'll check now with the manufacturer of the portable battery. Even though the charging indicator on the battery showed four bars, which means it was fully charged, perhaps it was giving a false reading.

During the winter, the power goes out several times each year where I live. Even one night without using a CPAP can make for a grumpy and less than productive next day. I'm using a Medistrom Pilot-24 Plus portable battery with my Air Curve 10. In order to ensure the battery is going to work for a fu...
